A few days afterward, the eggs were destroyed by a dog or hog, but tlio hen continued to sit until some time to December—about six mouths. 8he is the champion sitting hen; in fact she was well set in her way. Poet-Appeal: There is an important gathering of railroad magnates to the city at present, all of the leseees of the State Bead being either here or represented. The object of this assemblage is a thor ough discussion of the situation in view of the recent decision by Attorney-General Andeison. A meeting was held Saturday and another will take place this orening. It is learned that no idea of abawining the lease is enter'nined, and auy e^rt to set it aside by the State authorities will be strenuously resisted.

Amxbicub Becorder: A last year’s Kansas cyclone is said to have blown a man’s well np by the roots and carried it several miles awry. The late hurricane below us performed a feat almost as wonderful, and at the same time far more easily comprehended. In stead of blowing a well out of the ground, it blew one in the ground. It happened in this way: On the track of the cyclone below, the lime belt of country begins: and here there are many nndergronnd streams. Cavings in the earth along these streams are common occurrences, and any violent agitation or pressure from above causes, the earth to topple in; these are called lime sinks. The storm furnished the agitation, and the big shake up made a sew lime sink over fifty feet deep. Chronicle and Constitutionalist: Frida; morning, while Mr. D.

Tins is an error. Ten mules was killed by lightning in Macon five or six years ago, ono to Wilkinson connty, acd one in Stew irt county, recently. In every instance however, it must be admitted that the mules were killed by being taken una wares, and before they had time to wheel their batteries into position. Sumter Republican: One of the most formidable weapons in the way of a hog’s tooth to be seen is on exhibition at the store of Messrs. Buchanan A Bro., on Cot ton Avenue. It is a boar’s tusk eight inches long, token from an animal three years old, weighing fonr hundred and twenty-five pound*, killed by Jack L>. Davi*, of Marion county, Ga.

Mon day, be suddenly stumbled on a small grave on the bank of the river, just above the Catlton old brickyard place. He dug down and found, under some sawdust with which the box was filled, the bleached bonee of an infant. It bad evidently been there a long time. As yet there is no sus- picion or clue as to who the mother of the fell into the clutches of Mac. He was not brought to Columbus, but was per mitted bail, and succeeded in making a bond for his appearance at 4Re next term of Muscogee Superior Court. Savannah News: At 4 o’clock on Sunday evt-ning a white man, who was very much under the influence of liquor, approached tho watchman on the wharf of the Georgia and Flor da steamers, and after talking with him a few minutes, remarked that he would never be seen alive again. He tnen jerked his coat off and attempted to jump overboard, but was caught by the watch man and held for a short time until some friends were summoned who took him in charge. *Ve understand that the same in dividual made a similar attempt at tho Philadelphia steamship wharf a few min utes previous, but was prevented by two gentlemen who were in the vicinity. Athens Banner: Dennis Clayton, a very ancient colored man living in Athens now and formerly the slave ot Judge W. W. Clayton, remembers distinctly when the Oconee river used to run down Broad street. This aged colored man says that he had a fish hole under the large sycamore trees where the National Bank now stands, and that he helped to ditch above Lincoln's plantation, and turn the river in its pres ent channel. Dennis used to shoot squir rels where M. G. A J. Cohen’s store now is, and had a turkey blind at tee book store corner. He also had something to say abont snakes, but it being past our dinner time we excused ourself and withdrew. Athens Banner: One of the most terri ble arraignments of Mr. Emory Speer we ever read is printed on our first page, and copied from the Macon Teleobaph. Many of our citizens remember the harangue re ferred to by the editor of that paper, and must acknowledge that while the rebuke is most fcarfol, lhat it is just and merited. The murder of young Rountree teals the doom of the independent party in Athens, and we believe in the ninth district. Our people are now convinced that the ninth district has got to be saved again from ne gro domination by the combined efforts of be white race. There is no dividing line now; you must either go with tho black or the white man's party. Post-Appeal: Recently suit was insti tuted by the Georgia railroad against the commlssio , whicli, of ccurse, means the testing of the constitutionality of the law creating the board, • notwithstanding the fact that such a case has been already ad versely decided in the United States court. It now transpires that the railroad com mission have Ascertained that the Georgia Railroad and Banking Company has for feited its charter. It is said that the lease of tho Georgia railroad is in direct viola tion of it* ebartf r, and that the pressing of their suit against th* railroad commis sion may result in measures being taken to have the charter of the Georgia Railroad and Banking Company declared forfeited. Chronicle and Constitutionalist: Work on this mill is progressing rapidly. Work men are busily employed in all directions in breaking, leveling and hauling the ground where will soon rear itself along sde the Sibley Mills, the King Factory. Tho foundation of the principal building will soon be completed. 'There are also in operation two brick molds. They both turnout about 59,000 brick daily. Tho clay is first wet and fed into the molds on one sido as mud and comes out on the other side made into the form of brirks. They a re then piled in rows and after having been thoroughly dried by the sun. are put in the kilns and subjected to a great heat for about five days, and then allowed to coo', and are afterwads taken ont ready forbemg used to form the walls of tho factory. Savannah News: Emma Reynolds, her husband and stepson, George Reynolds, occupy a house on Lover’e lane which yes terday morning was the scene of a lively family broil. It appears that whilst the husband was ab.e it Emma and her step ion sat down to breakfast, and during the en joyment of the matutinal meal Emma ac cused the boy of stealing some biscuit. He resented the imputation by throyingn glass of water in her face. She returned the fil ial complimentby dashing a basin of water overturn, when a scuffle took place. Geo-ge managed to get the lobe of tho left ear of his mother between his teeth, and bit it en tirely off, spitting the quiveringflesh on tho ground. Emma picked np the piece of her ear, and wrapping it in a handkerchief, proceeded to Dr. Chisholm’s office, wheie the severed piece was sewed on the auricu lar organ, bnt the physician docs not think it will grow. Athens Banner: Tho place of the shoot ing ot yonng Rountree is jnst abovo the middle gate, on Prince avenue, beneath a China tree teat stands on the sidewalk. In the fence is 6een the imprint of a ball over which some ono ha< written, “fired by Frank J.” Thero is another boll further down the fence. From the position of the antagonists, it was impossible for Bartow Roniitree to h*ve shot his brother, as the negroes try to prove. The sidewalk here is twelve feet wide, and in splendid repair. The rock npon whhh Rountree’s head struck when falling is seen. Two ladies saw the shooting—one wrs just across the , e another was at the front gate Tho latter says she saw Walter Rountree shot down by Frank Johnson be fore bis brother had fired a shot; and site will make this state ment npon the stand if necessary. Yester day the ?aso of the neferoea bound over by the mayor to appear at the city coart was called, when the attorney for the defense arose and demanded an indiclmentby the grand jary. This settles the matter until the Muy session of the Clarke Superior Court. Wo learn that Messrs. E. T. brown of Athens, and George Thomas of Wat- kinsville, will appear in their defonse. We '..ope that tips trouble is now over, and that both the whites and blacks will remain quiet and leave tho settlement of the trouble to conrts of justice. Law cannot be overriden in Georgia, and nny resist ance will bnt bring tronble upon those who make the attempt. Mn. P. F. Bbaknok, formerly of Colum bus, and a drummer boy during the late unpleasantness, at the age of thirteen, has been elected mayor cf Weatherford, Texas. Southerner and Appeal: On Sunday af- noon last Mr. Jerry Meadows was thrown from his mule while in tlio act of leaving town, and had his left shoulder dislocated.

Turpin went into her garden where some brash was being burnt and in wallring around, her dress caught fire, quickly blazing np around her head. With great presence of mind she dropped upon the ground and commenced rolling over, at tbe same time calling for assistance from a negro woman not far away. The woman responded and the flames were put out. Mr*. Turpin’s hands and neck were badly burnt.

Savannah News : The down freight train on the Central railroad on Monday night ran over a white man abont half a mile above Millen, horribly maDgliug him. Both liis legs were eat eff unci hi* head terribly crashed. We lenm that the deceased was named Charles Smith, and claimed to be captain and owner of a small sloop, which he stated was lately lost, and that he was from Savannah, where he said he had friends. He had been loafing aronnd Mil len since Sunday, and was seen several times nnder the influence of liquor. He was seen Into on Monday night, and bade everybody ‘‘good-bye,” and started up the road towards Macon. When discovered by the engineer he was lying across the track, fall length. The whistle was blown and brakes reveised, bnt it was impossible to stop tie train, and the ponderons engine massed over the unfortunate man, killing lim instantly. He wes abont fifty years of age. The supposition is that he either lail down on the track intentionally or fell over in a drunken stupor. Tbe remains were removed to Millen. Athens Banner: The extension of the Georgia railroad over into the heart of Athens is no longer a matter of doubt, bat is now a settled fact. The contract for erecting the bridge over the Oconee has already beep awarded to an Atlanta con tractor, who is now selecting timber for the purpose. It will be a magnificent structure—ono span reaching across the stream. It will be bnilt to stand for year*, and on the most improved plan. This bridge will be erected about the middle of the old field above the lower bridgs. Eve y train is bringing stone fjr cul verts, and work on them will be begun at once. The granite for this purpose comes irom Slone Mountain- Tho only bridge on the extension will be across the river—tbe intervening ravines and creeks are to he filled exceptingcnlvertssufficient ly large to carry all water.

The freight and passenger depots will be sepa rate, and are to be handsome building, large enongh to moet tbe increasing busiress of the city. A round honso is al so to be built. The Augusta Evening News has the fol lowing: A boy was K&ved from drowning in the canal this morning, through the timely arrival and heroic exertions of a entleman passing near tho scene on Me ntone street, over the third level of the canal. The little fellow, John Hardman, whe l.ve* in that neighborhood, fell in tlio water while playing with some compan ions, abont a hundred yards from McKinne street Their exertions to rescue him os he floated down the street, which is swift at that place, were confined to holding ont sticks to him, and while grasping at them he was several times carried nnder the wa ter. While drifting helplessly along and when about to fail in strength he was seen by Dr. Frank M. Deems, Mr. George How ard and one or two other* pasting alon; the street. The two gentlemen name jumped from their vehicle, rushed down the bank, and Dr. Deems, who was first at the water, called to Mr. Howard to stay on tbe bank and not to jump in unless neces sary. Dr. Deems then plunged iu the wa ter and swam out to the little fellow, who was about to sick for the last time, with the grasp of a dying man, he seized Dr. Deems ns ho reached him, and both went undergo water. Rising to the surface, tho Doctorpashed for the bank with his bur den, ana was assisted by Mr. Howard and his colored driver, Eageoe. Both were pulled out of (ho water exhausted. Dr. Deems admini-tered restoratives to tho [ little fellow, and, after seeing him homo and going across the street to his own res idence, nursed him until he was all safe. Chronicle and Constitutionalist: Tho regular bi-monthly moating of the direc tors of tho Georgia Railroad and Banking Company was held at the bank, in this city, yesterday.

Jackson, C. J.—1. An administrator can not sell property held adversely to the es tate by a third person; he must first recov er possession. Code 2564. 2. The (rial of a claim to property adver- ti*ed for sale by an administrator is to be conducted in a similar manner to the trial of clalmsinterposed in case of levy of exe cutions by sheriffs. Whenever it appears on the trim of such a claim, that the prop erty claimed is held adversely to the estate the right of the administrator to sell is de feated until he recovers possession by ejectment or otherwise. 3. It matters not that the deed under which such claimant holds is attacked as invalid or fraudnlent; it is the written evi dence of their claim of title and shows that they hold adversely, said deed being to said claimants as donees and the property being actually in their possession. 4. Nordoe3 it matter that tho land was appraised by the administrator. Estima ting its valuo is no eviction of those in pos session, and no rednotion to possession by tbe administrator. 5.

The warrant being void, tho arrest and imprisonment wore illegal; and if mndo in bnd faith, tho pnrly arrested is en titled to damages, to bo determined by tho circumstances of tho case. Tho question of good or bad faith being for tho Jury, tho court did not err in refusing to non-suit tlio case. 4. Tho newly discovered tcitimony could only be admitted to impeach tho plaintiff below, and is merely cumulative, hence the court did not err to refusing a new trial naked because of it. 6. Tho testimony of plaintiff below as to her second arrest, under tho samo war rant by virtue of which tho firat srrest was made, was properly admitted. It goos to ulustrate the question of good faith in having tho arrest mado in tho first in- ■tones. 6. There was no error in refusing to compol the witness (plaintiff) to answer the question whether she had been an in mate cf a houpo of il! famo. Code 3814. C. Thero was no error iu permitting the witness to testify ns to tho reasons which impelled her to plead guilty to the charge ot assault and battery.

Judgment affirmed. Barnha-1A Kimbrough vs. L. and S. Stem- berger. Complaint, from Greene. . Jackson, C. J.—1. A party i3 not com pelled to examine all the witnesses he sues out commission for, even though they all be named in one commission. 2 A failure to fully answer a question asked by plaintiffs is no reason why inter rogatories should be ruled out at tbo in stance of the defendants. a A contract was set up by way of re coupment to plaintiffs’ vnit, and defend ant! claimed that they had been promised by plaintiffs the exclusive right to sell a certain kind of shirts in Greensboro, Ga., and that said promise was broken by plain tiffs by reason of which they were dim- aged, etc. Held: That there being no proof as to how long snch'excloaive right was to continue, nor of a sufficient consideration to rapport tho oontraot relied on, nor of the authority of tbe agent contracted with to make anch oontract, said plea was not properly sustained and a verdict against defendants will be upheld. Judgment af firmed. Aaron, et. al., vs. Gunnels. Certiorari, from Madison. CnAWEOBD, J.—1. Private wavs are ob tained only by an order from tbe ordinary, or by prescription of seven years; they are not to exceed fift»en feet in width, are to be kept open, nnd are to be worked by the jersons for whose benefit they are estab- islied. 2. As the judge below ordered a new trial, for the reason donbtlees, that he was not satisfied to tnle the law of the case without more evidence, »e will not disturb his jadgment. Judgment affirmed. Hawks vs. Hawk*. m Claim, from Ogle thorpe. 'Cbawtobd, J.—L Equity will not open its doors to set aside a judgment regularly obtained in favor of cestui que trusts, where the oomplninant is guilty of laches in failing to see that a contract alleged to have b:en made with the trustee or head of a family, was not carried oat; and where all action in the premises to set aside the jadgment granting the homestead to the said cestui que trusts has be in postponed for nearly eight years. 2. If equity in her regular forum, nor a court of law in a direct attack upon it to vacate it and set it aside under the fac s, would not do it, it should not be done col laterally and upon the trial of a claim Roberls vs. Cook, sheriff, and Legget, claimant. Rule against sheriff, from Appling. Jackson, O. J.—1. The fact that an ap plication for homestead is sigeed by tho attorney of the applicant will not make tho homestead void, e pedally when tho fads stated in the application are verified by the affidavit of tho applicant. 2. Neither will it invalidate tho grant of homestead that the ago of tho wite is not set out in the petition therefor. The wife’s homestead right is not dependent on ave at tbe time set apart, nor ns regards the duration of tho homestead estate. & A petition which states that petitioner ..aims homestead as the hend of a family, giving their names, etc, and stating ono of those mentioned to be bis wife and the otheis his children, substantially shows for whose benifit the homestead is de sired. 4. It appears in this case that the party attacking the homestead was notified of the pendency of homestead proceedings. His name and post-office were given to tho ordinary as a creditor, by tho debtor, and the presumption is that the ordinary noti fied him as required by law. 5. The fact that the surveyor’s return was made on the day the homestead wa* grant ed, might have suspended the cose for time to look into it, if objected to, but did not render the homestead void. Creditors should have objected. Only creditors who are notified and who conld have objected are fonnd, and as the creditor in tills case lmd notice, we think ho is concluded; espe cially as, being the purchaser of lrad from which tho homestead is to be carved, he bought subject to said homestead, and only (JOUKUt BOUJUCk VU BU1U UUmCBbCilu, HUUUUiy is entitled to what the homestead did not take. Judgment affirmed. Smith vs. Bragg. Habeas corpus, from Elbert. Jacskon, C. J.—1. By enr law the father is not entitled of right to the custody of hi* child, but on habeas corpus that custody is within tho discretion of the court on hear ing all the factB (Code 4024.) 2. That court which first takes jurisdic tion of a case of habeas corpus is tho court to which tills discretion of power is given, and where a writ of habeas iori>U8 issued out before tho ordinary, his decision should not bo overruled by the Superior Court on certiorari, uoles* his discretion is abused. 3. Even if the Superior Court disagreed with tho ordinary on facts it had no powi to pass a final jadgment, but should have sent the cose back for a. new trial on the facts. 4. The facts in this case, we think, show that the d'seretion of the ordinary was not abused. The child was confided by tbe mother, on her death-bed, to her brother nnd sister; its fAtber had abandoned it to the mother and her relatives, taking no le gal steps to recover the child nntil it had. grown to u an age when it might be use ful to him, and making no contributions to its support. He lmd married again, nnd the voice ot the dying mo her should con trol. rather than that of tho father who had not helped to raiso the child.

When ttbe Georgia and Central Railroads became joint owners ot the Western railroad of Alabama, was agreed tnat the Central railroa' should have the branch from Opelika to Colnmbns, and the Georgia railroad the branch from Opelika to Weat Point, while the two were to ho’d tho remainder of the road in common.

Tho oonrt, after read ing to tho jury the definition of a libel contained in the codo, left it for them to say whether tho words declared on were 11 bcloua or not. In ibis we think he com mitted no error. Tho question wn3 ns to whether the words charged theft, and that question was for the jury. In matters of slander and libel, whilo tho coort must pass on the libelous nature of tho words spoken, or written, or demurred to the de claration, or tho necessity of evidence to show actual damage, it is for tho jury to determine what proof is sufficient to estab lish the libelous effect of the words, ex cept, if at ell, where crime is distinctly charged. It 1s especially their province to pn*s on tbo publication, its nature, effect, and the intention which inspired it. 2. The verdict is sustained by the evi dence. Judgment affirmed. Healey vs. Dean et al. Pilotage, from McIntosh. Jackson, 0. J.—L On application by one for licenso as pilot, other pilots of the port have not the right to be made parties to the proceeding before the commissioners of pilotage, nnd to carry their docision by certiorari to the Superior Court. 2. When an applicant for license os a pi lot shows that ho has served for two years in a docked boat, an required by soutlon 1585 of tho codo, it is not necessary that the mayor nnd chief officer of the port should adjudge on the anestion of emer gency in said section. When one had made application, and (bows his qualifications os above stated, it is for tbe commissioners to pass on the question of emergency. Be sides this question of emergency whb passed on by said commissioners more than three months before the certiorari, and that jadgment, if judgment it was, was too old for review und>-r this writ. 3. The board of commissioners had ju risdiction cf tbe whole business of grant ing license to pilots and only jurisdictional fncts need appear of record —not tho evi dence on which the judgment is based, and the board may have had evidence of the emergency if that were necessary, Irom the verbal statement of the mayor or other Reeling of Ibe Hoard or Education. The board of public education held its regular quarterly meeting yesterday. The report of the superintendent showed that sixty-soven tsachers were at thi9 time em ployed in tho sohool.*, thirty-six of whom were employed in tho city schools and thirty-one in the confttry schools. The number of pupils in actual attendance is 3,027, of whom 1,GG0 are in the country schools and 1,367 in the city schools. Tho number of pupils in the white schools, city and country, is 1,553, and in the colored schools 1,474. The superintendent was instructed to I live two days holiday to the cityachools •he first week in May, and to close tho schools for the present term on Friday, the 2d of Jane. The country schools are to continue in session till they have completed their five months spring term. This gives a session of eight months on the present school year. The superintendent called the attention of the board to the condition of the rooms of the North Macon Grammar School, and stated that he could not recommend the continued use of at least tw3 of the rooms after the present year. After some discu : sion ot the needs of tho system for tho next year the board decided to assess $21,000 for the support of the school*, and Messrs. Whittle, Holt and Hertz were appointed to appear before the connty commissioners and request their approval of the same. 3 There being no ground of objection shown to tho introduction of the record of the homestend in evidence,'this court is nn&bie to consider the error complained of, as to suoh admission in evidence. Judgment affirmed. Graham vs. Hall. Eqnity, from Appling. SrEKU, J.—1.

Oommis*ioners appointed to lay out new militia districts have authority to em ploy n survoior to assist them in their du ties, and that tho connty surveyor was not employed will not render void their ao- lion. 3. Whilo the line>of a militia district are matter of record, the re-idence of a particular person is not, and evidence is admissiblo to show in what dist ict such resiueuoo is situated. 4. There was no error in tho cnarge that if defendant in fi fa did not reside :n the district where judgment was rendered, the oonrt had no jurisdiction, unless said de fendant appeared and plead, and that the onus was on parties claiming under said lodgment to s'iow that defendant in U fa lad appeared and plead to the suit. fi.

Simon Cameron in regard to myself. I desire that yon may feel certain of my conduct on the occasion referred to so far s my individual statement can make you. nove. intimated to any ono that I desired the command of the United States army, nor did I ever bare a conversation with but one gentleman, Mr. Francis Preston Blair, on the subject which was at his invi tation, and, as I understood, at the instance President Lincoln. After listening to his remarks, I declined the offer he made me to take command of tho army that wag to bo brought into tho field, stating as candidly and as courteous ly ns I coaid that, though opposed to seces sion and deprecating war I conld take no part in an invasion of the Southern States. I went directly from tho interview with Mr. Blair to the office of Gen. Scott I lold him of tho proposition that had been mndo to me and my decision. Upon reflection, after returning to my home I thought that I ought no longer to retain any commission held by me in the United State* army, and on the second morning thereafter forwarded my resigna tion to Gen. Scott. At the time, I hoped that some way wonld have been found to savo the ooantry from tho calamities of war, and I then had no other intention than to pass tho remainder of my days as a private citizen. Two days afterwards, npon the invitation I the Governor of Virginia. I repaired to Richmond and found that the convention then in session had passed the ordinance withdrawing tho State from the Union, and accepted tho commission of commander of its forces, which was tendered me.

We will have to do an immense amount ot new business to keep np onr present reve nae. Tho margia is so very close that the least loss will Rreatly affect onr profits. And oven to keep up the regular amount of business wo will have to reduce onr ox- nses and economize in every direction, a will have to takeoff soveral messen gers, if we do not have to reduce salaries.

For instance, take Albany. We formerly got $1.75 per hnndrod on first- class freight- The commissioners pat it down to ninety cents for the same class. To Colambos, formerly it was $1.25; now tis only 75 cents. To Americas, it was 1.25; now it is only G5 cents. T3 Eufanla, Ala., it used to be $1.75; it is now $1.00.
